Hi

The page holds some ideas proposed through out the years, so it is good if
you start contacting mentor for that idea first.

For question 3, yes you can apply if you are really able to manage
university work + GSoC project work, given that there should be a
minimal commitment of 40 hours per week for GSoC project.
